Enzymatic catalysis in nonaqueous solvents.
Subtilisin and alpha-chymotrypsin vigorously act as catalysts in a variety of dry organic solvents. Enzymatic transesterifications in organic solvents follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and the values of V/Km roughly correlate with solvent's hydrophobicity. The amount of water required by chymotrypsin and subtilisin for catalysis in organic solvents is much less than needed to form a monolayer o...
متن کاملMicrowave activation of enzymatic catalysis.
Microwave irradiation can be used to regulate biocatalysis. Herein, the utilization of hyperthermophilic enzymes in a microwave reactor is reported. While these enzymes are inactive at low temperatures, they can be activated with microwave irradiation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first illustration of a specific microwave effect in enzymatic catalysis.
متن کاملBinding Energy and Enzymatic Catalysis
For nearly 100 years, the extraordinary catalytic power of enzymes has fascinated biochemists (1). In a recent article in this Journal, Splittgerber (2) analyzed several ofthe factors by which enzymes are thought to effect catalysis, including proximity and orientation effects, substrate strain, acidbase catalysis, and nucleophilic catalysis. Here we will discuss the fundamental role that the f...
متن کاملEnzymatic catalysis of formation of Z-aspartame in ionic liquid - An alternative to enzymatic catalysis in organic solvents.
We present the first report of enzymatic catalysis in an ionic liquid. The virtually nonexistent vapor pressure makes ionic liquids an exciting new alternative for enzyme-catalyzed syntheses in environmentally friendly environments. Z-aspartame was synthesized in a thermolysin-catalyzed reaction of carbobenzoxy-L-aspartate and L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride in 1-butyl-3-methylimidaz...
متن کاملHighly efficient enzymatic catalysis for cyclocarbonate polymerization
In this study, we developed a metal-free biosynthetic strategy of enzymatic polymerization to fabricate aliphatic poly(pentamethylene carbonate) (PPMC). Novozym-435 lipase showed considerably high catalytic efficiency, and high molecular weights (Mn) of up to 6.0 104 g mol 1 were readily achieved through the ring-opening polymerization of cyclobis(pentamethylene carbonate). The reaction paramet...
